Accord Party has described as a move in futility the recent protest at the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, by the presidential candidate of the party in the 2023 presidential election, Prof. Christopher Imumolen where he asked the Comission to recognize him as the Chairman of the party.
Accord, in a press briefing in Abuja on Thursday, described Imumolen as a political jobber and a clown seeking stomach infrastructure.
National Chairman of the party, Barr. Maxwell Mgbuden said the show being put up by Imumolen was to get cheap publicity and mislead unsuspecting citizens maliciously fabricating factions in political parties where there is none.
DAILY POST reported that on 21st April 2026, Imumolen, who the party said it has expelled from its fold, staged a protest at INEC headquarters Abuja, seeking to be recognised as chairman of the party.
However, Accord said that there is no court order, whatsoever backing his demand and that there is no leadership dispute or faction in Accord, adding, “If there is a court order, Imumolen would have carried and displayed it like a trophy instead of carrying an awkward placard.
“He failed to provide the purported court order to journalists he invited for their news reports as it exists in his fertile imagination after a political hallucination of becoming the Accord chairman, which remains what it is, a mere dream.”
He explained that what the former presidential candidate still parades as a court order was an ex parte order he misled an FCT High Court to obtain on 3rd August 2024, foisted himself as chairman and broke into the party national secretariat on Saturday, 31st August 2024 which the national leadership of the party quickly approached the court and filed Motion No. M/11943/2024, seeking for an order of court to set aside the order of court obtained by fraud.
He said that On 2nd September 2024, Hon. Justice M. M. Adamu of the FCT High Court Vacation Court 3, ruled: “It shall be noted that Interim Orders lapse after seven days. I order for status quo to be maintained pending the outcome of the Motion on Notice.”
Accord urged citizens, particularly aspirants who desire to contest elections on the platform of the party, to be mindful of Imumolen.,
He added, “If Imumolen’s aim is to give the public impression that there is a leadership dispute or faction in Accord, he failed woefully. Nigerians know that there is no faction in Accord as members are united.
“Accord dissociates itself from Imumolen’s misplaced showmanship at INEC headquarters. It did not emanate from the party.
“Imumolen’s distraction has been adequately addressed by the party as equally reported in the national media. We will not dissipate energy responding to the antics of a failed politician.”
